Tipton Town are another side we have only ever come across since promotion to the Midland Alliance in 2008.

Tipton were formed in 1948 under the name of Ocker Hill United and played in the Wolverhampton and District Amateur league. They joined the West Midlands Regional League in 1965 and promotion to the Premier League came in 1985 when a certain Steve Bull played. Tipton won this league in 2004/05 to gain promotion to the Midland Alliance.

Coleshill's record against Tipton had been nothing short of woefull! In the first eleven meetings since the two sides came together in the Midland Alliance, Coleshill didn't win a single game against the "Black Country" team. Nine defeats and two draws was dreadful and on top of that Coleshill had failed to score in seven of those games! But after two draws Coleshill finally beat Tipton in the last game of the 2013/14 season and followed that up with a win at their place back in October this season. Tipton are currently in a relegation fight something they are not used to as they have previously always been a top six side.
